Glass – a very Important Part of Your Wristwatch
When purchasing a wristwatch you ought to pay your attention to every single detail, including glass. The main function of the glass is to protect the movement from dust. Glass has one more significant function: it protects the dial. That is why when choosing a wristwatch, no matter if it is an real wristwatch or a imitation watch, you should take into account its glass.
There are three main types of watch glasses: acrylic glass, mineral glass and sapphire crystal. None of these kinds of glass is perfect, each of them has its pluses and minuses.
Acrylic glass is the cheapest one, that is why cheap watches usually feature acrylic glass. Acrylic glass is often used in sports wristwatches, because this type of glass is very durable, it is very difficult to break. Since being very cheap, acrylic glass is often used in copy wristwatches, for example in Panerai copy watches. Many people do not like acrylic glass, because it is very easy to scratch such a glass. Well, there is a great way out – scratched glass can be easily replaced with new one.
Mineral glass is also used in replica Panerai timepieces and other kinds of imitation watches, because it is cheap enough. However, mineral glass is harder than acrylic glass. What to resistance to scratches – it is not very scratch resistant. Most watches feature mineral glass, that is why mineral glass is called “ordinary glass”.
Sapphire crystal is hard to scratch to scratch, however, this is the most expensive kind of watch glass. Sapphire crystal usually protects dials of the most expensive and the most prestigious wristwatches. Sapphire crystal is not perfect – it is scratch-resistant, but it is quite easy to break. Keep your wristwatch away from damage and the crystal will serve you for very long time.
Whatever glass can be broken, even the hardest one. Never wear a watch with broken glass, in case you break it, stop the timepiece and take it to service centre. Idea from replica watches review
